Any comparisons between the 2 setups, I'd like to hear them. Any strobe setup recommendations, under $1,000 USD? Thanks

I use two starlites as well. Occasionally I use some strobes but not very often.
Before you go and blow a lot of money on strobes...Hit up ebay and look for some cheap ones that you can play with then decide if strobes are the right move for your needs.
If you are shooting higher end studio stuff then IMHO, you need the strobes...But if this is for amateur style stuff then the hot lights should be fine once you get them dialed in with your camera. As for the color tempature and all that...Go to a photo store and buy some gells to clip over the softboxes.
